Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for installing an application for an IC card on a portable terminal.

  In recent years, there is a system in which a service provided using an IC (Integrated Circuit) card can be received using a portable terminal equipped with the IC card.

  Generally, a user of such a service first downloads a dedicated application for allowing the user to receive the service with an IC card mounted on the user's mobile terminal. Then, launch the downloaded application, operate the mobile terminal, enter the member information necessary to become a member who can receive the service, create the service area in the IC card, etc. The service can be received using the mobile terminal installed.

The member information is input using, for example, a keyboard attached to the mobile terminal.
In addition, when the user of the service has already registered as a member when entering member information and has a separate IC card issued to the member, the member can use the IC card. It is also possible to take over information.

  For example, Patent Document 1 registers card ID (IDentification) information registered in association with the member's personal information in the member information database and further associated with terminal ID information stored in the mobile phone. By doing so, it is described that the member information is taken over by the mobile phone.

  Further, for example, in Patent Document 2, a mail address encoded in a QR code (registered trademark) is acquired using an imaging function of a mobile phone, and a plurality of card IDs are associated with the mail address in a database. By registering, it is described that member information is taken over using a mobile phone.

  The service area in the IC card is created using, for example, wireless communication after inputting member information.

In Modification 1, the member ID is read from the takeover IC card 50 via the IC card reader / writer 31 and the member ID is written to the IC card 21 mounted on the mobile terminal 20.
Therefore, according to the first modification, the member ID is directly transferred from the takeover IC card 50 to the IC card 21 mounted on the mobile terminal 20 without using wireless communication via the communication network 40 or the like. Can do.

  In the first modification, the mobile terminal 20 acquires the URL of the installation device 30 that is a storage location of the mobile application 38 installed in the mobile terminal 20 via the IC card reader / writer 31, and based on the URL. The mobile application 38 is downloaded from the installation device 30.

  Therefore, according to the first modification, the mobile terminal 20 can specify the storage location of the mobile application 38 based on the URL, and the mobile application 38 can be automatically downloaded. For this reason, it is not necessary for the user to search for the storage location of the mobile application 38, and the cost for data communication such as packet communication costs can be minimized.

[Modification 2 of the first embodiment]
FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the installation system 12 according to the second modification of the first embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 6, the same components as those shown in FIG. 5 of Modification 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the installation system 12 according to the second modification, the installation apparatus 30 includes an identity verification information reading unit 71 and a member ID giving unit 72 instead of the member ID reading unit 61 of the first modification. Furthermore, a member information storage unit 73 is provided. Note that these configurations of the installation apparatus 30 are also functional configurations realized by the control unit 135 controlling each unit illustrated in FIG. 3, as in the first embodiment.

In the second modification, the takeover IC card 50 is specifically an identity confirmation IC card in which identity confirmation information of the user of the mobile terminal 20 is recorded. The identity verification IC card is, for example, an identification card such as a license with a built-in IC chip, a basic resident register card, or a passport.
For example, personal identification information such as the name, address, date of birth, etc. of the card holder is recorded on the personal identification IC card as personal identification information.

  If the user who wants to be able to receive a service using the IC card 21 mounted on the mobile terminal 20 has not yet registered as a member for the service, the installation system 12 of the second modification example is used. By using, the mobile application 38 can be installed in the mobile terminal 20 with a simpler operation using the identity verification IC card.

In the second modification, the member ID acquisition unit 34 of the installation apparatus 30 includes an identity verification information reading unit 71 and a member ID giving unit 72.
For example, when the user of the mobile terminal 20 places the takeover IC card 50 at a position where it can communicate with the IC card reader / writer 31, the identity verification information reading unit 71 is a takeover IC card 50 that is an identity verification IC card. Then, through the IC card access unit 33, the personal identification information that is the personal identification information of the user is read.

The member ID assigning unit 72 assigns a service member ID to the user of the mobile terminal 20 in association with the identity confirmation information read by the identity confirmation information reading unit 71.
Specifically, when the identity verification information of the user of the mobile terminal 20 that is not registered as a member is read by the identity verification information reading unit 71, the member ID granting unit 72 gives a member ID to be given to the user. Generate.

  Thereby, the member ID acquisition unit 34 acquires the member ID, and the acquired member ID is written into the service area in the IC card 21 by the member ID writing unit 36.

  Further, the personal identification information of the user of the mobile terminal 20 read as the personal identification information reading unit 71 by the personal identification information reading unit 71 and the member ID assigned to the user by the member ID providing unit 72 are associated with each other. Recorded in the member information storage unit 73.

  The information stored in the member information storage unit 73 received the service from the member ID stored in the IC card 21 when the service using the IC card 21 was actually provided. Used to identify an individual.

  According to the modified example 2 described above, even if the user of the mobile terminal 20 is a person who has not registered for membership in the service, a simple operation can be performed by using the identity verification IC card as the takeover IC card 50. Thus, the use of the service using the IC card 21 mounted on the mobile terminal 20 can be started.

  By the way, when the user wants to start using the service using the IC card 21 mounted on the mobile terminal 20, introduction of the mobile application 38 for operating the memory area of the IC card 21 into the mobile terminal 20, It is necessary to perform initialization processing such as securing a service area in the IC card 21 and inputting initial information.

  In the first embodiment of the present invention and the modification thereof, in order to simplify the initialization operation, first, the IC card reader / writer 31 directly uses the service in the IC card 21 of the mobile terminal 20 for the service. Secure service areas. Then, in a state where the takeover information acquired from the takeover IC card 50 for information input is written in the service area secured in the IC card 21, the mobile application 38 for operating the memory area corresponding to the service, Downloaded to the mobile terminal 20.

  On the other hand, as an initialization method different from the present embodiment, for example, there is a method in which after the mobile application is downloaded to the mobile terminal, the takeover information is input by an operation according to the mobile application. In this case, in order to simplify the input of takeover information, it is conceivable that a mobile application for each user is prepared in advance and downloaded to the mobile terminal. It is also conceivable to prepare a setting file for each user separately from the mobile application.

However, in this method, since it is necessary to create a mobile application for each user, the burden on the creator of the mobile application is large.
On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, a service provided by using an IC card in a mobile terminal can be easily started using a mobile application common to all users.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a more specific embodiment of the present invention will be described as a second embodiment of the present invention.
In the second embodiment of the present invention, the installation device 30 in the first embodiment is divided into a plurality of devices for each function.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the installation system 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 7, an installation system 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a service provider server 210, an IC chip server 220, a mobile application download terminal 230, a takeover IC card 240, a mobile Terminal 250.

  When these configurations in the second embodiment are made to correspond to the configurations in the first embodiment and its modifications, a combination of the service provider server 210, the IC chip server 220, and the mobile application download terminal 230 Corresponds to the installation apparatus 30 in the first embodiment. Further, the takeover IC card 240 corresponds to the takeover IC card 50 in the first and second modifications of the first embodiment, and the mobile terminal 250 corresponds to the mobile terminal 20 in the first embodiment.

  Furthermore, the hardware configuration of the mobile application download terminal 230 can be substantially the same as the hardware configuration of the installation apparatus 30 shown in FIG. Further, the hardware configurations of the service provider server 210 and the IC chip server 220 can be substantially the same as the configuration in which the IC card reader / writer 31 is removed from the hardware configuration of the installation apparatus 30 shown in FIG. .

Returning to FIG. 7, the service provider server 210, the IC chip server 220, and the mobile application download terminal 230 are connected to each other via a wired NW (NW: network).
The mobile terminal 250 is connected to the service provider server 210 via a wireless NW, and is connected to the mobile application download terminal 230 via a contactless / contact I / F (I / F: interface).
The takeover IC card 240 is connected to the mobile application download terminal 230 through a non-contact / contact I / F.

  The service provider server 210 is a server held by a service provider that provides a service using an IC card such as an electronic money service. The service provider server 210 holds member information TBL (TBL: table) 211 that stores member information, and a mobile application 212 that is an application that operates on the mobile terminal 250.

The IC chip server 220 is connected to the mobile application download terminal 230 by a wired NW, and is a server capable of issuing a service area on the IC chip built in the IC card and writing to the IC chip via the network. is there.
The IC chip server 220 includes an IC chip issuing module 221 that is a module that performs a service area issuing process on the IC chip, and an IC chip writing module 222 that is a module that performs a writing process on the IC chip. Yes.

  By performing the encryption process between the IC chip server 220 and the mobile application download terminal 230, the security of the writing process can be ensured. Note that when there is no need to ensure security or when the user is required to input a PIN (Personal Identification Number) from the mobile application download terminal 230, the IC chip server 220 is excluded from the configuration of the installation system 200, and the mobile application An issue process and a write process for the IC chip may be directly performed from the download terminal 230.

  The mobile application download terminal 230 includes an IC card reader / writer (hereinafter referred to as R / W (reader / writer)) 231 and also has an R / W module 232 as a module.

  The mobile application download terminal 230 transmits the data read by the R / W module 232 to the service provider server 210 and the IC chip server 220, and also writes the data to be written by the R / W module 232 to the service provider server. 210 is a terminal that receives from the IC chip server 220 and the IC chip server 220.

  The mobile application download terminal 230 is connected to the takeover IC card 240 and the mobile terminal 250 via the R / W 231 in a non-contact / contact I / F.

  The mobile application download terminal 230 in this embodiment holds two R / Ws 231, and at least one of them is an R / W that can read information recorded on a non-contact type IC card. . Therefore, the mobile application download terminal 230 can read information from the IC card mounted on the mobile terminal.

  Note that this does not narrow the scope of the present invention, but is merely an example, and the number, type, and the like of the R / W 231 mounted on the mobile application download terminal 230 are not limited thereto. For example, only one R / W 231 may be installed in the mobile application download terminal 230. Further, a mobile terminal with R / W having an IC card issuing function may be connected to the mobile application download terminal 230 and used as the R / W.

  When the user holds the IC card over the R / W, if there are two R / Ws, the hand-over IC card 240 is held on one side and the mobile terminal 250 having the IC card 252 mounted on the other side. If only one R / W is used, the mobile terminal 250 may be held over the hand-over IC card 240, or the hand-over IC card 240 and the mobile terminal 250 may be held over each other. Also good.

  The takeover IC card 240 is an identity verification IC card such as a license, an IC card in which takeover data is registered, or the like.

  Note that this does not narrow the scope of the present invention, but is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the takeover IC card 240 may be an IC card mounted on a mobile terminal. In such a case, the mobile terminal may hold a plurality of IC cards in which the IC card to be issued and the IC card for identity verification are physically separated. Further, the area corresponding to the IC card to be issued and the IC card for identity verification is logically divided and present in one IC card mounted on the mobile terminal. May be.

  The mobile terminal 250 has a download module 251 for downloading an application via a wireless NW and an IC card 252 that can be written from a non-contact R / W.

Note that, in the above configuration, a place where the wired NW is used may be a wireless NW, and a place where the wireless NW is used may be a wired NW.
For example, when it is difficult to install a wired NW at a place where the mobile application download terminal 230 is installed, a wireless NW may be obtained by inserting a mobile communication card into the mobile application download terminal 230. Alternatively, a wireless LAN environment may be constructed, and the mobile application download terminal 230 may be installed under the wireless LAN environment.

  Further, by preparing an I / F for connecting to the wired NW in the mobile terminal 250, the mobile application 212 may be downloaded from the service provider server 210 to the mobile terminal 250 via the wired NW. good.

  Further, in the installation system 200 according to the present embodiment, a device for installing the mobile application 212 in the mobile terminal 250 is divided for each function, and the service provider server 210, the IC chip server 220, and the mobile application download terminal 230. The three devices are explicitly divided. However, it may be a server or a terminal having a plurality of functions. For example, all functions may be provided in the mobile application download terminal 230, or the service provider server 210 and the IC chip server 220 may be integrated.

  Furthermore, the connection form between the devices may be changed. For example, the data communication path is connected so that the IC chip server 220 exists behind the service provider server 210, and the mobile application terminal 230 and the IC chip server 220 are connected via the service provider server 210. You may do it.

  In addition, data with security can be exchanged between the IC card 252 held by the mobile terminal 250 and the mobile application download terminal 230. Such exchange is realized, for example, by holding encryption information in the mobile terminal 250 or the IC card 252 in advance, and the IC chip server 220 holding a key for decrypting the encryption information. Is done. Specifically, the encrypted information cannot be decrypted by the mobile application download terminal 230 between the mobile terminal 250 and the IC chip server 220, and the encrypted information is not read by the mobile application download terminal 230. . The key holding location may be changed according to the operation of the service provider.

Next, a method for downloading the mobile application 212 using the installation system 200 will be described with reference to FIGS.
In this download method, in order to save the takeover data directly in the mobile terminal 250, the member ID associated with the takeover data is saved in the IC card 252 attached to the mobile terminal 250.

  In addition, the mobile application 212 is downloaded after the member ID necessary for receiving the service is stored in the IC card 252 so that the user can receive the service immediately after the mobile application 212 is downloaded.

FIG. 8 is a procedure explanatory diagram showing an example of the procedure of the installation method according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of data recorded at the time of the installation.
Here, an installation method for newly registering user member information in the member information TBL 211 will be described.

  As preparatory work, the takeover IC card 240 and the mobile terminal 250 with the IC card 252 are arranged at positions where data can be read and written by the R / W 231 respectively.

  First, the mobile application download terminal 230 receives card information recorded on each card from the takeover IC card 240 and the IC card 252 attached to the mobile terminal 250 via the R / W 231 by the R / W module 232. Read (step S201).

  Specifically, the mobile application download terminal 230 reads the member information from the takeover IC card 240 and reads the IC card ID that is identification information for identifying the IC card from the IC card 252 attached to the mobile terminal 250.

  In this reading process, the mobile application download terminal 230 displays the member information read from the takeover IC card 240 on the monitor provided in the mobile application download terminal 230 and before moving to the next process. The user may be prompted for confirmation.

  When the mobile application download terminal 230 reads the card information in step 201, the mobile application download terminal 230 transmits the member information and the IC card ID, which are the two pieces of read card information, to the service provider server 210 (step S202). The transmitted information is written in the member information TBL 211 in the service provider server 210.

At this time, other information necessary for using the service may be transmitted together. For example, when the user operates the mobile application download terminal 230 and selects the type of service to be used, the service information is transmitted to the service provider server 210 together with the member information and the IC card ID.
In such a case, for example, as shown in FIG. 9A, the IC card ID, member information, and service information are transmitted to the service provider server 210 in association with each other and recorded in the member information TBL 211.

  At this time, the service provider server 210 may function as an authentication server, and the service provider server 210 may perform user authentication based on the received card information. In this case, for example, only when the user uses the takeover IC card 240 as an authentication card and holds the takeover IC card 240 on which valid member information is recorded over the R / W 231, the steps described later are performed. The IC chip issuance process in S205 may be executed.

  The service provider server 210 receives the information transmitted from the mobile application download terminal 230 in step S202, and generates a member ID as a key for the received information (step S203).

  The generated member ID is written in the member information TBL211. For example, as shown in FIG. 9B, the generated member ID is recorded in the member information TBL 211 in association with the already written IC card ID, member information, and service information.

  The member ID may be generated by the mobile application download terminal 230 and transmitted to the service provider server 210 together with the card information in the process of step S202.

  If the member information of the user has already been registered in the member information TBL 211 and the member information recorded in the IC card 240 for transfer includes a member ID, step S203 is performed. The member ID included in the member information may be used by omitting this process.

When the service provider server 210 generates the member ID in step S 203, the service provider server 210 transmits the member ID and the mobile application download URL information indicating the storage location of the mobile application 212 to the IC chip server 220, and the mobile terminal 250. A request to write to the IC card 252 attached to is made (step S204).
In addition, the service provider server 210 transmits service information in addition to the member ID and the URL when the service information is acquired.

  Further, as described above, when there is no need to ensure security or when the user is requested to input a PIN from the mobile application download terminal 230, the IC chip server 220 is excluded from the configuration of the installation system 200. Also good. In such a case, the service provider server 210 does not perform the process of step S204, generates a member ID in step S203, returns a response to the mobile application download terminal 230, and downloads the mobile application. The issuing process and the writing process for the IC chip may be directly performed from the terminal 230 to the mobile terminal 250.

The IC chip server 220 executes an IC chip issuing process for issuing a service area on the IC chip in the IC card 252 attached to the mobile terminal 250 via the R / W 231 of the mobile application download terminal 230 ( Step S205).
This process is executed by the IC chip issuing module 221. In other words, a service area is set in the IC card 252 by this processing.

Subsequently, the IC chip server 220 passes the R / W 231 of the mobile application download terminal 230 to the IC card 252 attached to the mobile terminal 250, specifically to the IC chip in the IC card 252. An IC chip writing process for writing the ID and URL is executed (step S206).
This process is executed by the IC chip writing module 222.

  By the way, for example, when a plurality of services are developed simultaneously, it is more convenient to write service information on the IC card 252. Therefore, if the service information is transmitted in addition to the member ID and URL from the service provider server 210 in step S204, the IC chip server 220, for example, as shown in FIG. In addition to the URL information, service information is also written to the IC chip in the IC card 252.

  When the mobile terminal 250 detects that information has been written in the IC card 252, it performs an event notification process for prompting the user to download the mobile application 212 (step S 207). Specifically, the mobile terminal 250 reads a URL written in the IC card 252 from the IC card 252 and displays a screen that prompts the user to connect to the read URL on a monitor provided in the mobile terminal 250. Let

  In the process of step S206, the writing of URL information to the IC chip can be omitted. In this case, after writing information other than the URL to the IC chip, for example, the URL information may be directly transmitted from the R / W 231 to the mobile terminal 250 to perform the event notification processing in step S207.

  The user who is prompted to download the mobile application 212 in the event notification processing in step S207 operates the mobile terminal 250 according to the displayed screen, for example. The mobile terminal 250 performs URL connection processing for connecting to the URL written in the IC card 252 in step S206 in accordance with a user operation (step S208).

  Specifically, the mobile terminal 250 connects to the service provider server 210 that also has a function as a Web server based on the URL. At this time, the mobile terminal 250 includes the member ID written in the IC card 252 in step S206 in the URL parameter, further reads out the IC card ID from the IC card 252, and automatically reads the read IC card ID into a communication message. And automatically sent to the service provider server 210.

  The service provider server 210 checks whether the IC card ID added to the communication message is registered in the member information TBL 211 (step S209). Further, the service provider server 210 confirms whether the member ID included in the URL parameter is registered in the member information TBL 211 as well.

  For example, the service provider server 210 performs confirmation by referring to the information in the member information TBL 211 exemplified in FIG. 9B, and if the combination of the IC card ID and the member ID is registered as a result of the confirmation, It is determined that the member information has been registered, and if not registered, for example, it is determined that unauthorized processing has been performed.

If the service provider server 210 determines that the member information has already been registered as a result of the confirmation in step S209, the service provider server 210 permits the mobile terminal 250 to download the mobile application 212.
The mobile terminal 250 receives the permission and executes the download process of the mobile application 212 (step S210).

Note that after the IC chip writing process in step S206 is executed, the download process of the mobile application 212 may be performed at any time. Therefore, the processes in steps S207 to S210 are performed later according to the convenience of the user. May be.
Further, the processing of steps S207 to S210 may be omitted, and the mobile application 212 may be written simultaneously in the IC chip writing processing of step S206.

In the above installation method, in order to appropriately transfer the member information transmitted to the service provider server 210 in step S202 to the mobile terminal 250, authentication processing for confirming the IC card ID is performed in step S209.
By introducing this process, it is possible to prevent an operation error and an unauthorized process such that the member information transmitted in step S202 is taken over by another mobile terminal.

  According to the second embodiment described above, even if the device for installing the mobile application 212 in the mobile terminal 250 is divided into a plurality of devices for each function, the IC in the mobile terminal 250 Provision of a service using the card 252 to the user can be started with a simple operation.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, a method for upgrading the version of the mobile application 212 downloaded to the mobile terminal 250 will be described as a third embodiment of the present invention.
The installation system according to the third embodiment can have the same configuration as that of the installation system 200 according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. The third embodiment will be described using the reference numerals shown in FIG.

First, a method for installing the mobile application 212, which is a prerequisite for version upgrade, will be described.
FIG. 10 is a procedure explanatory diagram illustrating an example of the procedure of the installation method according to the third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of data recorded at the time of the installation.

  Note that the processing of steps S301 to S310 shown in FIG. 10 partially corresponds to the processing of steps S201 to S210 of FIG. 8 described in the second embodiment, and thus description of overlapping portions is omitted. The explanation will focus on the different parts.

  First, the mobile application download terminal 230 reads the member information from the takeover IC card 240 and the IC card ID from the IC card 252 attached to the mobile terminal 250 as card information via the R / W 231 (step S301).

  Next, the mobile application download terminal 230 transmits the read card information to the service provider server 210 (step S302). For example, the mobile application download terminal 230 transmits the read member information and IC card ID and further service information to the service provider server 210. The service provider server 210 associates the information received from the mobile application download terminal 230 with each other and writes the information in the member information TBL 211 in the service provider server 210.

  The service provider server 210 generates a member ID serving as a key for the information received from the mobile application download terminal 230 (step S303). The service provider server 210 writes the generated member ID in the member information TBL 211 in association with the information received from the mobile application download terminal 230 already written in the member information TBL 211.

  Specifically, the member information TBL 211 in the third embodiment associates a member ID, an IC card ID, member information, service information, and an application Ver as shown in FIG. Remember.

  Here, the application Ver is information indicating the version of the mobile application 212 installed in the mobile terminal 250. The third embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that this application Ver is recorded in the member information TBL 211 in association with the member ID or the like.

At the time of step S303, as shown in FIG. 11A, the member information TBL 211 includes, for example, the member ID generated in step S303 and the IC card ID transmitted to the service provider server 210 in step S302. Member information and service information are recorded in association with each other.
At this time, since the mobile application 212 is not yet installed in the mobile terminal 250, the information of the application Ver is not associated with the member information TBL211.

  Subsequently, the service provider server 210 transmits, for example, a member ID, a URL for downloading a mobile application, service information, and the latest application Ver to the IC chip server 220, and sends the information to the mobile terminal 250. A write request is made to the attached IC card 252 (step S304).

  Here, the latest application Ver is information indicating the latest version of the mobile application 212. As shown in FIG. 11B, for example, the service provider server 210 stores information on the latest application Ver as well as information on the URL for downloading the latest version of the mobile application 212. I remember it.

  When making a write request in step S304, the service provider server 210 reads the member ID and service information from the member information TBL 211, for example, reads the URL and the latest application Ver information from the storage unit, and associates them with each other to create an IC chip. Send to server 220.

  The IC chip server 220 executes IC chip issue processing in response to a write request from the service provider server 210, and sets a service area in the IC card 252 attached to the mobile terminal 250 (step S305).

  Further, the IC chip server 220 executes an IC chip writing process based on the information received from the service provider server 210 (step S306). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11C, the IC chip server 220 is set in the IC card 252 attached to the mobile terminal 250, more specifically in the service area set in the IC card 252. , The received member ID, URL, and service information are written, and the latest received application Ver is written as the application Ver.

  When the information is written in the IC card 252, the mobile terminal 250 detects it and performs event notification processing (step S <b> 307). Specifically, the mobile terminal 250 displays a screen that prompts the user to connect to the URL based on the URL written in the IC card 252 on a monitor provided in the mobile terminal 250.

  When the user performs an operation according to the screen displayed on the monitor, the mobile terminal 250 performs a URL connection process according to the operation (step S308). Specifically, the mobile terminal 250 accesses the service provider server 210 having, for example, a download website of the mobile application 212 according to the URL. At this time, the mobile terminal 250 automatically adds the IC card ID of the IC card 252 attached to the mobile terminal 250 to the communication message, and includes the member ID written in the IC card 252 in the URL parameter.

  The service provider server 210 checks whether the IC card ID added to the communication message is registered in the member information TBL 211 (step S309). This confirmation is determined, for example, based on whether or not the IC card ID added to the communication message matches the IC card ID in the member information TBL 211 shown in FIG. If the service provider server 210 is registered, the service provider server 210 determines that the member information has been registered. If not registered, the service provider server 210 determines that, for example, some unauthorized processing has been performed.

  If the member information has already been registered, the mobile terminal 250 performs a download process for the mobile application 212 (step S310).

Next, the mobile terminal 250 performs the initial activation of the downloaded mobile application 212 (step S311).
Specifically, the mobile terminal 250 installs the downloaded mobile application 212 in the mobile terminal 250 in accordance with a user operation, and activates the installed mobile application 212.

  This installation may be automatically performed by the mobile terminal 250 after the mobile application 212 is downloaded in step S310.

  In the first activation, the mobile application 212 controls the mobile terminal 250, starts automatic communication with the service provider server 210, and uses the member ID and application Ver written in the IC card 252 as the service provider server. To 210. In this transmission, the IC card ID may be transmitted together.

The service provider server 210 associates the member ID received from the mobile terminal 250 with the application Ver and records it in the member information TBL211.
Specifically, when the service provider server 210 receives, for example, the member ID “123” and the application Ver “1.0” from the mobile terminal 250, the service provider server 210 has the member ID “123” illustrated in FIG. By writing “1.0” in the blank of the related information application Ver, the member ID “123” and the application Ver “1.0” are associated and recorded in the member information TBL 211 as shown in FIG. To do.

  By executing the procedure of the above installation method, the version upgrade of the mobile application described below can be simplified.

Next, a method for upgrading the version of the mobile application 212 installed on the mobile terminal 230 by the above installation method will be described.
FIG. 12 is a procedure explanatory diagram showing an example of the procedure of the version upgrade method, and FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of data recorded at the time of version upgrade.

  The processes in steps S321 to S329 shown in FIG. 12 partially correspond to the processes in steps S301, S302, S304, and S306 to S311 in FIG. The description will focus on the different parts.

  In the following, a case where the version of the mobile application 212 is upgraded from the application Ver “1.0” after execution of the installation method to the application Ver “2.0” will be described as a specific example. .

  Therefore, before the upgrade, it is assumed that the data shown in FIG. 11C is recorded on the IC card 252 attached to the mobile terminal 250, following the description from the installation method, and the service establishment server 210 It is assumed that the data shown in FIG. 11D is recorded in the member information TBL211.

  In the version upgrade, first, the mobile application download terminal 230 reads the IC card ID as card information from the IC card 252 attached to the mobile terminal 250 via the R / W 231 (step S321).

  At this time, the mobile application download terminal 230 may read only the member ID from the IC card 252 instead of the IC card ID. Further, the mobile application download terminal 230 may read the IC card ID and the member ID from the IC card 252 at the same time.

  Next, the mobile application download terminal 230 transmits the IC card ID, which is the card information read in step S321, to the service provider server 210 (step S322). The service provider server 210 determines whether or not the IC card ID received from the mobile application download terminal 230 exists in the member information TBL211. If the IC card ID exists, it is determined that the member information has been registered, and the process proceeds to the next process.

  On the other hand, when the IC card ID does not exist in the member information TBL 211, the IC card ID is not registered, so the service provider server 210 determines that the member information is not registered. At this time, the service provider server 210 may ask the user to insert the takeover IC card 240.

  When determining that the member information has been registered, the service provider server 210 transmits, for example, the member ID, the URL for downloading the mobile application, the service information, and the latest application Ver to the IC chip server 220, and the transmitted information. Request to write to the IC card 252 attached to the mobile terminal 250 (step S323).

  Here, regarding the member ID and service information, the service provider server 210 is associated with the IC card ID transmitted in step S322 from the member information TBL211 before the upgrade shown in FIG. 11D, for example. The member ID and service information being read are read out and transmitted to the IC chip server 220.

  Here, as a specific example, the service provider server 210 stores the latest application Ver “2.0” in the storage unit as the latest version of the mobile application 212 as shown in FIG. The latest application Ver “2.0” is transmitted to the IC chip server 220.

  When the service provider server 210 makes a write request, specifically, together with information on the latest application Ver, a URL for downloading the version of the mobile application 212 indicated by the latest application Ver as a download URL, Transmit to the IC chip server 220.

  Since the mobile application 212 may be downloaded from a server other than the service provider server 210 to the mobile terminal 250, the download URL here is different from the URL registered at the time of member registration. There may be.

  In response to the write request, the IC chip server 220 executes an IC chip write process for writing the URL, the latest application Ver information, and the service information on the IC card 252 attached to the mobile terminal 250 (step S324). .

  Specifically, the IC chip server 220 sends the received URL, application Ver, and service information to the mobile terminal 250 including the IC card 252 in which the member ID received from the service provider server 210 is written. The information already transmitted to the IC card 252 is rewritten to these information. By this IC chip writing process, for example, the application Ver “1.0” in the IC card 252 before the upgrade shown in FIG. 11C is displayed by the latest application Ver as shown in FIG. 13B. It is rewritten to “2.0”.

  If service information is not changed at the time of version upgrade, service information may not be transmitted in steps S323 and S324. Also, the URL may not be transmitted when it is not necessary to change the URL.

  When the information of the application Ver in the IC card 252 is rewritten, the mobile terminal 250 detects this and performs event notification processing (step S325). Specifically, the mobile terminal 250 displays a screen prompting the user to connect to the URL based on the URL written in the IC card 252 on a monitor provided in the mobile terminal 250.

  When the user performs an operation according to the screen displayed on the monitor, the mobile terminal 250 performs a URL connection process in the same manner as the processing of steps S308 to S310 at the time of installation shown in FIG. (Step S326), the service provider server 210 confirms the IC card ID (Step S327), and the mobile terminal 250 executes the download process of the mobile application 212 (Step S328).

  However, at the time of version upgrade, unlike the time of installation, the information of the application Ver recorded on the IC card 252 is rewritten to “2.0” as shown in FIG. 13B by the process of step S324. Therefore, the mobile application 212 of version “2.0” which is the latest version is downloaded to the mobile terminal 250.

  When the latest version of the mobile application 212 is downloaded, the mobile terminal 250 starts the latest version of the mobile application 212 for the first time in accordance with the user's operation (step S329).

  At this time, the mobile application 212 controls the mobile terminal 250 to start automatic communication with the service provider server 210, and the service provider server 210 receives the member ID and the application Ver written in the IC card 252. Send to.

  When the service provider server 210 receives, for example, the member ID “123” and the application Ver “2.0” from the mobile terminal 250, the member ID in the member information TBL211 before the upgrade illustrated in FIG. By rewriting the application Ver “1.0” associated with “123” to “2.0”, as shown in FIG. 13C, the member ID “123” and the application Ver “2.0” are displayed. Are recorded in the member information TBL211.

  By executing the above version upgrade method, if communication is interrupted while the mobile application 212 is being downloaded in step S328, step S329 is not executed, and the IC card 252 in the mobile terminal 250 is loaded. Is written as the application Ver “2.0”, and the application Ver “1.0” is written in the member information TBL 211 in the service provider server 210. Therefore, if the process from step S321 is performed again, it can be determined that the download of the mobile application 212 has failed.

[Fourth Embodiment]
Next, a method for changing member information stored in the member information TBL 211 in the service provider server 210 will be described as a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
Note that the installation system according to the fourth embodiment can have the same configuration as that of the installation system 200 according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. 7, and thus the description thereof will be omitted. The fourth embodiment will be described using the reference numeral 7.

  FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a procedure example of the member information changing method according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

  In the fourth embodiment, the takeover IC card 240 is a card on which personal identification information such as the name, address, date of birth, etc. of the card holder is recorded.

  First, the mobile application download terminal 230 reads card information from the takeover IC card 240 and the IC card 252 attached to the mobile terminal 250 via the R / W 231 (step S401).

  Specifically, the mobile application download terminal 230 reads the personal identification information from the takeover IC card 240 as card information. Also, from the IC card 252 attached to the mobile terminal 250, the IC card ID of the IC card 252 and in-service area information that is information recorded in the service area in the IC card 252 are read as card information.

Next, the mobile application download terminal 230 transmits the read card information to the service provider server 210 (step S402).
Specifically, the mobile application download terminal 230 transmits the personal identification information, IC card ID, and service area information read from the takeover IC card 240 and IC card 252 to the service provider server 210.

  When receiving the card information from the mobile application download terminal 230 (step S403), the service provider server 210 starts an update process for updating the member information recorded in the member information TBL211 in the service provider server 210. .

  First, the service provider server 210 determines whether or not a member ID is included in the card information received in step S403 (step S404). Specifically, the service provider server 210 determines whether or not the member ID is included in the service area information as card information. If the service area is not set in the IC card 252, the service provider server 210 does not receive the service area information, and therefore determines that the member ID is not included.

  When determining that the member ID is included in the card information (step S404; Yes), the service provider server 210 further determines whether or not the member ID has been registered (step S405). Specifically, the service provider server 210 determines whether or not the member ID is recorded in the member information TBL 211 in the service provider server 210.

  If it is determined in step S404 that the member ID is not included in the card information (step S404; No), or if it is determined in step S405 that the member ID has not been registered (step S405). No), since the owner of the mobile terminal 250 is not registered as a member and is not in a state to receive the service, the service provider server 210 performs the process in step S203 in FIG. The mobile application 212 is installed in the mobile terminal 250.

  When determining that the member ID has been registered (step S405; Yes), the service provider server 210 reads member information associated with the member ID from the member information TBL211 (step S406).

  Subsequently, the service provider server 210 determines whether or not the member information read from the member information TBL 211 matches the member information included in the card information received in step S403 (step S407).

  Here, when the member information matches (step S407; Yes), it is not necessary to update the member information, so the service provider server 210 ends this updating process.

  If the service provider server 210 determines that the member information read from the member information TBL 211 does not match the received member information (step S407; No), the service provider server 210 inquires whether the member information can be updated. Information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 250 (step S408).

  When receiving the update availability inquiry information from the service provider server 210, the mobile terminal 250 displays a screen for inquiring of the member whether or not the member information can be updated based on the received information (step S409).

  The member confirms the screen and inputs updatable / invalidating instruction information for instructing whether to update or not to update the member information to the mobile terminal 250.

The mobile terminal 250 determines whether or not update up / down instruction information has been input (step S410). If not input (step S410; No), the mobile terminal 250 waits until it is input.
When the update availability instruction information is input (step S410; Yes), the mobile terminal 250 transmits the input update availability instruction information to the service provider server 210 (step S411).

  When the service provider server 210 receives the update availability instruction information from the mobile terminal 250 (step S412), the service provider server 210 determines whether the received update availability instruction information is instructed to permit or not to update. (Step S413).

  When the service provider server 210 determines that the update permission is instructed (step S413; Yes), the member information in the member information TBL211 read in step S406 is included in the card information received in step S403. By rewriting with the included member information, the member information of the member information TBL211 is updated (step S414), and this updating process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that update non-permission is instructed (step S413; No), the service provider server 210 does not update the member information and ends this update process.

By executing the above member information changing method, the member information can be easily changed after the mobile application 212 is installed in the mobile terminal 210.
Note that the processing of steps S408 to S413 may be omitted, and when the member information matches, the member information may be updated without performing screen confirmation by the member. In that case, the processing can be simplified.
